There is another very important reason as well why every vote counts. This isn't winner-take-all. The amount of votes we get changes the amount of delegates we get, and it's all about who gets the most delegates. In other words, between getting 51% and 60%, we get more delegates with 60%. Between losing at 20% and losing at 35%, we get more delegates at 35%. Every vote changes the proportion of delegates we receive, and we need to win as many delegates as possible. Make sure people understand this. That every vote makes a difference regardless of whether or not we're "winning" the state.

Now imagine if Bernie makes it and becomes president. Those 10 people would have launched Bernies career and enabled all of this

Those ten votes launched a movement. I hate to sound so banal, but Bernie has given me faith in humanity again.
I couldn't possibly say thank you enough.
Edit: changed "people" to "votes." I am not a smart man.
